Hatcher v. Pennsylvania Railroad
Opinion of the Court
The plaintiff: was injured while alighting from a train of the defendant company at its station at Elizabeth. His story, as told upon the witness-stand, is that, after the train had come to a stop, he went upon the platform of the car to alight; that before he had done so a bralceman pushed him from the train, and that, just as he was pushed, the train started up and he was thrown off. His story is entirely uncorroborated.
The rule to show cause should be made absolute.
